Anybody have an idea as to the frequency of baseball runners who are over sliding the bag and getting tagged out? I just saw PCA easily steal second to the point that the catcher possibly could have not even attempted a throw. He slid past the bag completely and was a good 2 feet past the bag. Easily tagged out. This is a very recent phenomenon. The only thing I can think is happening is they are now being taught to slide late so as to get to the bag just a little sooner. And the use of the oven mit. These things are obviously coming at a cost.
